Has the Draft Day Deuce Vaugh story lost its luster?

[Coogiguy03]

What a great moment on draft day for one of the members of this organization to have his son on the team coming to work with him. Based on what we've saw from Deuce in the season, has the value of this touching story lost its luster in some way?? I say it was a great story

Not looking good for Deuce. But aren't the other 3 RBs all free agents next year? Could get a second year by default.

I'm just afraid of his size being the issue, no doubt that others have had success, who knows! I wish him the best

Lance, Bryant, and Vaughn could be the next triplets (according to some).

Week 18 might he meaningless to us. If so that should be deuces chance to show he's not just a preseason runner.

Yes.

Keaton Mitchell has done well. Of course he towers over deuce at 5'8 and has probably 20 lbs on him. Oh yeah and ran a 4.2.

Based on what exactly?

So far, I was wrong about Deuce. Im disappointed. That can change if he gets in the game and has a small role to help us when it matters. U never know. This league is about opportunity. I dont think hes had much of that. Pollard is preventing it. Rico gets hurt or Davis, then the kid will see his chance and better seize it.

Ravens are extremely underrated. They are Niners east.

Not at all. I don't understand how people expect a 6th rounder that is 3rd string to have much of a impact. That is a completely unrealistic expectation. Most 6th rounders don't make the team.

 

[speedkilz88]

Deuce just needs to work on his pass protection. They obviously see a future by keeping him on the 53. They think another team would claim him.

Why? What were you expecting? We knew he would be 3rd string. He can only be given a chance by the staff and so far they haven't.

He’s going to have a sizeable role next season as only him and Davis are under contract. They’ll draft/sign a bigger body runner and use Deuce in space.

Instant gratification culture has become a joke. 6th round pick in his rookie year behind a plethora of skill players. To think he’d come in and usurp Pollard plus all the WR/TE touches is unrealistic.

We are all excited about his skillset, doesn’t mean we should expect that to be featured year 1. Pollard was electric the day he touched the ball, didn’t get a sizeable role until year 3.

Such is life in the NFL.

I think Duece was drafted only for a "feel good" story because his dad worked for the team.
All the Darren Sporoles comparisons were laughable.

I hope he still can make an impact next season.

As laughable as 4 tight ends being better than Sam Laporta?

You know how this board is man. Just a bunch of negative, whining posters

I understand that the coaches see him in practice, but as a fan I want him to German change in a game with the first team oline, and in situations where run game is not obvious. Do due diligence before cutting him loose.

That's what she said......

Yeah nobody ever said that lol.
